Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrases "comprising a component of' 8230; \8230;" does not exclude the presence of another like element in a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises the element.
The existing ultrasonic flow meters are divided into three types: plug-in, clamp-in, and tube-segment.
Where an insertion probe needs to be placed inside the pipe. What needs to be solved in the present invention is the metering of oxidants and fuels in spacecraft, where the oxidants corrode the probe, so that the insertion type ultrasonic flow meter is first eliminated.
The clamping type mainly adopts the structure that the flowmeter with the clamp and the like is arranged on a fuel or oxidant pipeline, namely the ultrasonic probe and the pipe body are designed in a split mode, so that the ultrasonic probe is additionally arranged on the pipe body, and only the other clamp or the reinforcing device is adopted. On the one hand, the provision of a reinforcement means increases the overall weight, but due to the aircraft, it is desirable that the weight of this flow meter is as light as possible, so that the aircraft can carry further loads. And in the field of outer space, such as lunar landing, if the device is weighted by one kilogram, the cost is increased by the cost equivalent to one kilogram of gold.
On the other hand, during the flight of the aircraft, vibrations, such as rockets, are generated, and the reinforcing device is likely to loosen after a long time. If loosened, there are voids between the probe and the wall of the pipe, which affect the strength of the sound wave and even block the propagation of the sound wave signal (e.g. there is a vacuum in the voids, i.e. the sound wave is not propagated without a transmission medium, and naturally cannot propagate).
On the other hand, after the reinforcing device is loosened, the probe can be displaced, and the distance of sound wave transmission is changed, which affects the performance of measurement, for example, the precision is greatly reduced.
The clamp-on ultrasonic flow meter is also eliminated.
In order to ensure that the two probes can transmit and receive ultrasonic waves, the conventional pipe-segment type ultrasonic flowmeter needs to be provided with a plurality of reflectors between the two probes in a pipeline, and the reflectors ensure that the ultrasonic waves can be smoothly received. However, the mirror is also an unstable factor, and if only one of the angles is changed, the ultrasonic wave is shifted and cannot be received, so that the whole flow meter is failed.
Aiming at the problems of various conventional ultrasonic flow meters in aviation and aerospace application, as shown in fig. 1 to 5, the invention provides an integrated ultrasonic flow meter for aerospace, which comprises a pipe section 1, wherein the pipe section 1 is preferably a straight pipe, so that bubble accumulation is avoided. At least two ultrasonic probes 2 are arranged on the outer wall of the pipe section 1 along the axial direction of the pipe section; the ultrasonic probe 2 comprises a mounting seat 23 fixedly arranged on the outer wall of the pipe section 1; a sound wedge 22 is arranged in the mounting seat 23, the sound wedge 22 comprises a slope surface, and a ceramic piezoelectric sheet 21 for exciting or receiving ultrasonic waves is attached to the slope surface; in order to facilitate connection with an upper computer, the mounting seat 23 is provided with a connector 24, such as an SMA connector, and the specific choice of the connector is not limited in the present invention. The application of a voltage to the ceramic piezoelectric sheet 21 can excite an ultrasonic wave and also convert the received ultrasonic wave into a corresponding electric signal. Of course, a control system is also required to convert the electrical signal into the flow rate of the medium.
The acute included angles between the ceramic piezoelectric sheets 21 in the two mounting seats 23 and the central axis of the pipe section 1 are equal. Because the ceramic piezoelectric pieces are arranged on the slope surface of the acoustic wedge 22, the included angles between the two ceramic piezoelectric pieces 21 and the central axis of the pipe section 1 respectively comprise an obtuse angle and an acute angle, and the included angles serving as the acute angles are equal in degree. For the purpose of matching, the two ceramic piezoelectric sheets 21 need to emit the excited ultrasonic waves to each other.
Referring to fig. 4, since the two ceramic piezoelectric plates 21 have a certain distance therebetween, in order to ensure that the ultrasonic wave excited by one of the ceramic piezoelectric plates 21 can be successfully received by the other ceramic piezoelectric plate 21 even after being refracted for multiple times in the pipe section, the length range of the acoustic wedge 22 is determined by the following formula:
Figure 452139DEST_PATH_IMAGE001
wherein, the first and the second end of the pipe are connected with each other,
Figure 122155DEST_PATH_IMAGE002
is the internal diameter of the pipe section,
Figure 27620DEST_PATH_IMAGE007
being the length of the acoustic wedge 22,
Figure 808494DEST_PATH_IMAGE008
is the angle of incidence of the ultrasonic waves in the acoustic wedge 22;
Figure 324926DEST_PATH_IMAGE005
for the propagation velocity of the ultrasonic waves in the pipe fluid,
Figure 165843DEST_PATH_IMAGE006
is the propagation velocity of the ultrasonic wave in the acoustic wedge 22.
In some embodiments, the angle of incidence of the ultrasonic waves in the acoustic wedge 22
Figure 767726DEST_PATH_IMAGE008
Can be determined by the angle of the ceramic piezoelectric sheet 21, while the inner diameter of the pipe section 1
Figure 352291DEST_PATH_IMAGE002
The propagation speed of the ultrasonic wave in the pipeline fluid (medium) can be determined according to actual requirements
Figure 457650DEST_PATH_IMAGE005
And propagation velocity in the acoustic wedge 22
Figure 735048DEST_PATH_IMAGE006
Are all easy to measure. In particular, the solution of the invention makes use of the angle of incidence of the ultrasonic waves in the acoustic wedge 22
Figure 293068DEST_PATH_IMAGE004
Angle of incidence of ultrasonic waves in pipe wall
Figure 681324DEST_PATH_IMAGE009
And the angle of incidence of the ultrasonic waves in the pipe section
Figure 906769DEST_PATH_IMAGE010
Relationship of three angles:
Figure 89489DEST_PATH_IMAGE011
(wherein the content of the first and second components,
Figure 665963DEST_PATH_IMAGE012
the propagation velocity of the ultrasonic waves in the pipe wall) so that the ultrasonic waves can be generated by measuring the incident angle of the ultrasonic waves in the acoustic wedge 22 only
Figure 592331DEST_PATH_IMAGE004
The numerical range of the length of the acoustic wedge can be determined, so that the ultrasonic wave excited by one ceramic piezoelectric sheet 21 can be still successfully received by the other ceramic piezoelectric sheet 21 corresponding to the ultrasonic wave no matter how many times the ultrasonic wave is refracted in the pipe section, that is, other parameters in the design and production process are easy to determine, and the smooth implementation of the invention is ensured.
The invention combines the advantages of the prior pipeline type and clamping type ultrasonic flow meters, does not need to arrange a reflector, and passes the installation angle of the ceramic piezoelectric plate (namely the incident angle of the ultrasonic wave in the acoustic wedge 22)
Figure 469020DEST_PATH_IMAGE004
) The length range of the acoustic wedge is determined, and the ultrasonic waves can be received smoothly after being refracted for a plurality of times in the pipe section.
In the spacecraft, the probability of failure occurrence should be reduced by reducing the number of connection points as much as possible, so that the mounting seat 23 is cuboid and is defined by a top cover 232, the outer wall of the pipe section 1 and four side walls 231; the four side walls 231, the acoustic wedge 22 and the pipe section 1 are integrally formed. The specific technical means of the integral forming may be machining or direct integral casting, as long as the purpose of the integral forming is achieved, and the invention is not limited.
Compared with a clamping type ultrasonic flowmeter, the invention adopts an integrated design, does not need to separately arrange a clamp or a reinforcing device, not only simplifies the structure, but also realizes the lightweight design of the ultrasonic flowmeter to a certain extent, thereby reducing the process cost to a certain extent when being used in the space field; on the other hand, through the integrated design, the problems that the transmission or the strength of the sound wave signal is influenced due to the looseness of the reinforcing device can be avoided, and the reliability of the ultrasonic wave signal is ensured; meanwhile, the influence on the measurement precision caused by the displacement of the probe due to the looseness is avoided to a certain extent.
In order to facilitate the installation of the ceramic piezoelectric sheet 21, the top cover 232 is fixed by bolts. And a sealing ring 234 is additionally provided for improving the sealing property. The ceramic piezoelectric sheet 21 is directly adhered to the slope surface of the acoustic wedge 22 by using epoxy resin, and the concrete shape of the slope surface corresponds to the ceramic gasket, so that the ceramic piezoelectric sheet can be better supported. In addition, the mounting seat 23 is filled with a potting adhesive 233. The potting adhesive 233 prevents the ceramic piezoelectric plate 21 from shaking, and the potting adhesive 233 can absorb an excessive sound wave, thereby improving the directivity of the ultrasonic wave. After the potting adhesive 233 is filled, the top cover 232 is fastened by bolts.
The pipe section 1 and the medium conveying pipeline can be connected in a welding mode or in a mode of being connected through flanges at two ends. When in connection, the upstream and downstream conveying pipelines are connected in a welding or flange connection mode. The two modes respectively have advantages, the welding can reduce connection points, and the flange connection is convenient to mount and dismount and can be selected according to specific requirements. Of course, the form of welding is preferred for aerospace applications.
In addition, in some embodiments, the pipe section 1 is cylindrical, and the two ultrasonic probes 2 are located on the same bus of the pipe section 1. Even if the pipe section 1 has other shapes, the two ultrasonic probes 2 may be positioned on the same line parallel to the medium flow direction in order to improve the metering accuracy. In addition, due to the fact that maintenance conditions are generally lacking in the working conditions of aerospace application, the redundancy of some devices can be considered while the stability of the devices is guaranteed as much as possible. For example, two groups of ultrasonic probes 2 are provided, and one group of ultrasonic probes 2 comprises a front ultrasonic probe and a rear ultrasonic probe which are positioned on the same bus of the pipe section 1; and the two groups of ultrasonic probes 2 are positioned on the same plane. In this way, when one group of ultrasonic probes 2 fails, the other group of ultrasonic probes 2 can be started, and the metering work is ensured not to be interrupted. In fact, under extreme conditions, the two ultrasonic probes 2 positioned on the diagonal line can also perform the metering work, and further the metering work is guaranteed.
In addition, as shown in fig. 6, the invention further provides an integrated ultrasonic flowmeter system for aerospace, which comprises two integrated ultrasonic flowmeters for aerospace; each ultrasonic flowmeter is provided with two groups of ultrasonic probes 2. The group of ultrasonic probes 2 comprises a front ultrasonic probe and a rear ultrasonic probe which are positioned on the same bus of the pipe section 1; the two groups of ultrasonic probes 2 are positioned on the same plane.
One of the two aerospace integrated ultrasonic flow meters is used for detecting the flow of an oxidant in an oxidant pipeline, and the other one of the two aerospace integrated ultrasonic flow meters is used for detecting the flow of fuel in a fuel pipeline; the system also comprises two sets of control systems, wherein one control system is a main control system, and the other control system is a backup control system; the main control system and the backup control system are respectively connected with the two groups of ultrasonic probes in the integrated ultrasonic flowmeter for aerospace.
